Deferred financing costs arise in connection with our long-term financing and are amortized over the life of the financing agreements. We capitalized $92.1 million, $6.3 million and $14.5 million of deferred financing costs during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in connection with financing transactions. Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to $7.8 million, $7.1 million and $7.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2013, we wrote off $5.9 million of unamortized deferred financing fees related to our prior credit agreement. See Note 15 ( Long-Term and Other Debt). During 2012, we wrote off $7.6 million of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the redemption of our 2016 Notes. During 2011, we wrote off $4.2 million of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the August 25, 2011 amendment to our prior credit agreement.
